Step 1: Put your MP3 player (or WMP or whatever) on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 10 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

Lattergate House, King's School Canterbury? Gollop I can't think of.

Hi FPB,

Were you in Lattergate in 1977? Mike

I was indeed. I came in in January, and then spent a couple olf terms in Linacre, but then my family blew up and there were financial problems, and they took me away.

I arrived in January '77 also. I always wondered what happened to FPB :) Ian Gollop was the House Master of LG and was one of the biggest jerks I have encountered in my life. http://mstoneworks.net/Microbiology/ASMDradiodurans.htm

Yes, I remember now. Ian Glossop, mustached professional Welshman, widely unpopular. I'm not sure I ever understood why, but then I was always outside the whole English schoolboy ethics (beginning with the no-sneaking rule). I do know that I was personally much happier with the Linacre housemaster, whose name I also forget, and who was an Anglican clergyman; whether he was happy with me, on the other hand....

The link you placed had a gap. I closed it and found myself in an article on a remarkably hardy microbe that could be selected for the controlled environment of a flight to Mars. Is that where you wanted me to go? Is that your work? (I did not realize that they designed the environment of spaceships in such detail, but thinking about it, it makes sense. One undersirable microbe might result in a sick, starved or dead crew before the mission is achieved.)

I haven't become an academic, as was my ambition, but I do some research in my own time, in a rather different field: http://www.facesofarthur.org.uk/fabio/contents.htm

Hi Fabio – what caught my attention first and which led to you was ‘Remarks on Science and Christianity – two' - (http://community.livejournal.com/fpb_de_fide/6828.html#cutid1). I found myself nodding my head in agreement. There is much I can relate to and see many parallels in my field. Mike D

A blogger, especially one as obscure as I am, is someone who is constantly sending his/her creatures out into the world with no idea of where they will end up or even if they will end up anywhere. I am always very glad when I find that they worked for someone else. Have you read my recent essay on knowledge?
